Revised Regulation on Geographical Indications Entered into Force


The revised regulation on geographical indications (GIs) for agricultural products, wines, and spirit drinks, which was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 23 April 2024, has officially entered into force on May 13, 2024.

This significant legislative update streamlines previous procedures into a single framework designed to improve the efficiency of the GI registration process—a clear indication of the EU's dedication to protecting the intellectual property rights of producers across the Union.

With this regulation now active, the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) is responsible for establishing and maintaining the Union Register for GIs.
